The Selvagens Islands are home of over 100 plant species, including 9 endemic taxa to the archipelago. Three of these endemics are extremely rare with a population sizes below 250 individuals: Argyranthemum thalassophilum, Asparagus nesiotes subsp. nesiotes and Euphorbia anachoreta. The project will consist of a series of demographic, genetic, and ecological studies aimed to design adequate conservation strategies for the three target plant taxa.
